Fernando. If its a live animal its still a pig, if its cooked it can be many other words ... but never pig
I was very bored the other day and read up on the differences.
I'm very bored now so I can tell you of my informative reading.
Pig, cow, deer........ all Saxon words
Gamon, beef, venison......... all Norman words used to disassociate from the peasant (saxons) that provided the beasts for their masters (Normans) table
I'm going back to work now.
Lets pretend I'm not a nerd
